Follow the instructions in the treatment manual for the best results when using topical products with Dermalux LED treatment. Here are specific guidelines:
Beneficial:
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Peptides
- Stem Cells
- Growth Factors
- Beta Glucan
- Niacinamide
These ingredients are safe to apply on the skin prior to and during the Dermalux treatment. Use water-based serums and low viscosity gels that absorb quickly into the skin.
With Caution:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Lactic Acid
- Mandelic Acid
These ingredients may be used in low concentrations in conjunction with the Dermalux treatment, but the skin response should be monitored. Avoid using high concentrations of active ingredients immediately after treatment, especially for sensitive or problematic skin.
Avoid:
- Glycolic Acid
- Salicylic Acid
- Benzoyl Peroxide
- Kojic Acid
- Retinol
- Hydroquinone
- Titanium Dioxide
- Zinc Oxide
Do not apply topical products that contain these ingredients during the Dermalux treatment as they create a barrier that inhibits light penetration. Such products can be used post-treatment. Skin peels may be used directly before the Dermalux treatment as long as they are neutralized in advance.
